Chachapoyas, in the Amazonas region, is an off-the-beaten-path destination rich in history. It’s known for the Kuelap fortress, a pre-Incan citadel built by the Chachapoya culture, also known as the “Warriors of the Clouds.” Access to Kuelap has become easier thanks to a modern cable car. The area is also home to the Gocta Waterfall, one of the highest in the world, and the mysterious sarcophagi of Karajia, carved into cliff faces. Chachapoyas offers a unique mix of history, culture, and nature.
